<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For a:</u> The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate is 
<u>For b:</u> The net acid-base reaction is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Dissolution reaction is defined as the reaction in which a solid compound gets dissolved in water to form aqueous solution.
The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate follows:

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.
The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium carbonate follows:

Now, the anion formed which is
reacts with water to form conjugate acid.
The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L
